How to disagree without attacking and be a good ally | Ask Leah

Play the ball, not the person.

It's not just good advice in sports, it also applies to disagreements.

You can disagree with someone's opinions and beliefs without attacking them as a human.

Yet so many people seem to have lost the ability to do this, particularly on social media.

Too often we see differing opinions descend into personal attacks about someone's race, gender, sexual orientation, or other personal attribute.

And it's not ok.

Tonight on Ask Leah I talk about how to disagree with someone without attacking them and also, importantly, how to be a good ally to those who so often find themselves being attacked.

Please watch, share, and do what you can to lift other people up.
